Published by M4 and developed by Grave Danger Games, AFTERGRINDER drops you head first in a modern-day Romeo & Juliet tale: From the suburbs to the big city, two thrashin’ gangs battle for supremacy. When one gang member (“The Dude”) falls in love his rival’s sister (“The Lady”), the suburbs are no longer safe. Now the Lady must skate her way to the big city while grinding rails and dodging death to save her Dude.
Die, retry … and die again as you speed through town and try to stay alive across 90 gnarly levels in three stark, unforgiving worlds. With three playable characters, you can choose your shredding style:
* The Dude (Easy) – for slow snoozer cruisers
* The Lady (Normal) – for amateur shredders
* The Shark (Hard) – for “insane-in-the-membrane” skate gods
Experience gravity-defying action by grinding through cities right-side up or upside down. Make sure you keep an eye on your surroundings and quickly change your skater’s position to avoid hitting walls and hazardous platforms … or else. Need more speed? Using boost will allow for intense speed rushes to grind across levels in a suicidal flash.
“AFTERGRINDER is not for the faint of heart. To make every death an honorable one, we ensured that the controls were as tight as can be – and that defeat is never due to some unknown bug,” says Simon Graveline, co-founder of Grave Danger Games. “If you have fond memories of dropping quarter after quarter in arcade machines – and you enjoy a no-holds-barred rush to the finish line – you’ll love AFTERGRINDER.”
“M4 is all about discovering and rewarding new talent,” adds Jeff Giasson, founder and CEO of M4. “AFTERGRINDER was envisioned by a brilliant duo – Simon Graveline and Jonathan D’Anjou. Their single goal was to create an arcade runner that does justice to the wildly difficult platformers of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Grave Danger Games has clearly hit that goal – in a big way!”
